Project Description

CE marking is a certification mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products to the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that are manufactured in, or designed to be sold in, the EEA. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area.

The CE marking is the manufacturer’s legally binding declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives. The mark consists of the CE logo and, if applicable, the four digit identification number of the Notified Body involved in the conformity assessment procedure.

The classification (I, IIa, IIb, III) and the conformity assessment procedure for a medical device are defined in Annex IX of Directive 93/42/EEC. Notified bodies carry out the prescribed inspections and issue the required certificates.
